This travel guide is truly special: We’ve simply put
in all kinds of things about India that interest us!
You’ll come across features of our country that you
didn’t know about and would love to explore. Like
taking the kids to learn how to bathe elephants.
Setting off on a toy train. Going to Kerala and
watching the monsoon as it comes across the
Arabian Sea and bursts on the land. Equally, we
hope this book will be an enjoyable read for the

‘virgin island’ of fantasy...
